On Android Automotive OS, the permissions flow is the same as granting permissions on Android Auto, except the user sees permission details on the car screen instead of the phone.  
| **Note:** This sample flow shows how the templates might look in Android Automotive OS (AAOS).

## Sample flow

|                                     User action                                     |                                                                                                                                Where action is performed                                                                                                                                 | Step count after action |

| The user sees a system permissions dialog on the car screen and grants permissions. | Message template with toast (refresh) ![Toast on Message template](https://developer.android.com/static/images/design/ui/cars/flows/grant-permissions-car-2.png)**Note:**When the Message template updates with the toast, it is considered a refresh and doesn't add to the step count. | 2                       |
| The app returns to the landing template.                                            | Landing template (in this case, the Place List template) ![Place List template with Recents, Favorites, and Saved lists](https://developer.android.com/static/images/design/ui/cars/flows/grant-permissions-car-3.png)                                                                   | 1 (new task)            |
